Old farts thread incoming. I'll kick this off.

Picking up a landline phone and making arrangements, then not having ANY method of communication with the other herbert till you actually meet up at the allotted time and place. Get increasingly pissed off when they're late and you're left hanging around wondering whether to bail.

Having the latest film reserved at the video store (VHS), yomping all the way down there to collect it, only to be told "oh...they haven't brought it back yet"

3 TV channels. Then 4. And the arrival of the 4th channel feeling like the 2nd coming of Christ.

Opening an encyclopedia if you needed to find out something.

A currency system that went base 10, base 20, base 12, base 4.

That it’s possible to do a maths exam without a calculator.

Knocking on your mates door, asking if they wanted to have a kick about.
Walking, yes WALKING to school. In all weathers .
Radio Luxembourg, with it's fading in and out.
Logarithms. Not sure anyone understood those

Waiting 5-6 minutes for a game to load off a cassette, while your TV screeches at you.

Then getting 'R: Tape loading error' right at the end.

Going down the offy for some snacks and tinnies, then spending the night sitting side-by-side with your mate on the end of a bed getting pissed playing Kick Off or Sensible Soccer.

FIFA online has absolutely NOTHING on that.

Y=X to the power of n, where x=10. n is the log. But not the natural log. Obviously. FFS!

Saturday morning TV being seriously brilliant, instead of what we have now, just an endless tedious, soul-crushing loop of people in kitchens.

Walking for an hour up West Hove golf course to find a quiet spot to spark up a joint with my old mate who also posts on NSC.

Subbuteo.

Home brew.

Their mother was boring to me. I had to leave them all for the secretary.
